Erica, Sarah, and I walk over to the cheerleading booth with Erica, eager to become a cheerleader while Sarah and I were iffy on the topic. "Erica! Please tell us you're not doing what we think you're doing," Sarah firmly states. "What? It's just cheerleading," Erica argues. "I thought you said you wanted to be normal," she says as she looks over to Sarah, who then turns her attention toward Stephanie. "It's okay, but I think it needs to be more like... this," the head cheerleader, Stephanie says before knocking a girl's books onto the ground. I glare at her and shake my head in disgust. "Erica, do you really want to be a part of this clique of mean girls?" I question in disbelief. "Come on, it'll be fun," she states, trying to convince Sarah and me. "Plus, cheerleaders are not normal! They're more evil than us, and... we're vampires!" Sarah whisper yells at Erica. "Sarah, you know I've always wanted to be a cheerleader, and now that I'm really hot, I can. Besides, these girls have been telling me to 'bite them' for years," Erica says menacingly while flashing her fangs at us. "Yeah... I don't think that's what they had in mind," Sarah says in an uncertain tone. "Oh, come on. Who's gonna miss just one?" Erica asks with a pout that turns into a smirk. Then, she walks over to the booth. "I will!" Benny shouts. "Isn't this kind of like letting Magneto join the X-Men?" Ethan questions. Sarah and I turn around to face the two teen boys. "I'll assume that's 'geek-speak' for a fox in the henhouse thing," Sarah concludes. "If you have any ideas on how we're supposed to stop her, we're all ears," I state while crossing my arms. Benny clears his throat. "You guys could join too," he recommends. My eyes widen in disbelief. "No, no, no, no. There has to be another way," Sarah objects. "Goooo Devils!" The cheerleaders exclaim as Ethan and Benny dance to the cheer. "Unbelievable," I mumble to myself.
Sarah and I walk out of the school bathroom with uncomfortable cheerleader outfits, displeased. "Cowabunga!" Benny exclaims while his eyes scan my form. I cross my arms over me, uncomfortable. "Do not say anything," Sarah sternly demands. "You two look... peppy," Benny observes. "Look, we need to make sure Erica doesn't do any... sampling, and we're the only ones who can squeeze into this thing," Sarah explains. "Let's see what you've got, girls," Stephanie announces with a smirk. Sarah and I turn around to look at the gymnasium. "Oh, God bless cheerleaders," Benny states. "Ugh," I say with disgust as Sarah and I turn and go into the gym. We start doing warmups with Stephanie and the other cheerleaders. Then, I notice Benny and Ethan try to enter the gym. Stephanie sees this and pushes them out. "Get out!" she yells in anger. Then, we return to our warmups.
"And one, two, three, four. Everybody got that?" Stephanie asks as we do a bit of our routine. We continue practicing the routine, which is super simple so far. "And then after that, we kick. Okay, everybody got it?" She asks as we get further into the routine. "Let's try this," Stephanie declares. We finish the routine and Stephanie calls over 'Betty' and 'Veronica.' Mine and Sarah's jaws dropped to the floor as we saw Betty and Ethan dressed as girls.
"Uh, Betty, Veronica? Would you care to join us?" Stephanie asks in an annoyed tone. "Oh, we care!" 'Betty' replies giggling along with 'Veronica.' They happily prance over to us and Sarah and I display looks of disbelief toward each other. "Now, form up, girls. I want to hear you shout," Stephanie demands as we stand in a circle while putting our pom-poms on top of each other's hands. "We're Devil girls and we'll knock you out!" We exclaim. Everyone cheers except for Ethan, who was just stood there, frozen. Then, Stephanie tells us to hit the showers.
Sarah and I walk toward the girl's locker room. "I cannot believe 'Betty' and 'Veronica' are Ethan and Benny!" I whisper yell to Sarah. "Tell me about it. This is low, even for them," Sarah responds. Then, we see 'Betty' and 'Veronica' enter the gym locker room. Sarah and I gasp in shock to see them in here. We cross our arms, with unamused expressions. "Uh, e... excuse me. I was... I just wanted to fix my hair. The humidity just makes it--" Sarah interrupts 'Betty' by stating: "Please, stop. Save the act for your idiot friends," Sarah demands. "I can't believe you--" I angrily start, but then get cut off by Ethan. "No, listen. You can't tell anyone. It's important. I just had a terrible vision," Ethan whispers to us. "Ditto! I'm gonna have to wash my eyes out with soap!" Sarah remarks with a disgusted look. "Look, we can handle Erica. Go practice your cheers and have a cold shower," I state with an annoyed expression. "If you insist," Benny states, walking toward us. "At home!" I shout with a look of disgust. "Oh. Oh," Benny replies awkwardly. I scoff and roll my eyes, proceeding to walk away with Sarah.
